Title: Transmitting data at a variable compression rate according to the available transmission bandwidth of the wireless network
Inventor: ROH YOUNG HOON
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: Disclosed are a server system for performing moving picture data communication with a client device over a wireless network, and an operating method thereof. A server device compresses the moving picture data received from an external medium at a variably controlled compression rate according to transmission bandwidth of the current wireless network and an image quality level set by a user in response to a request of the client device. The server device transmits the compressed moving picture data to the client device in a wireless fashion. The transmission bandwidth is determined on the basics of transmission state information generated by the server device, and reception state information received from the client device. Therefore, transmission delay and playback delay can be avoided and data loss is avoided during a data transmission operation, such that stable data communication can be performed.
